"Why Rubbers Are Considered 'Qood There was a time, not bo many years back, when it was not quite fashionable to appear too robust. A little languor was considered rather becoming in a young woman. But that day has passed. The pale, droop ing, indoor girl has givei*, way to the riding, walking, golf-playing girl. Health has received the seal of fash ion. And everything that conduces to health is now good form. For instance, in the matter of wearing rubbers. A few years ago a good many women ob jected to wearing rubbors, on the ground that they detracted from the trim appearance of the foot. But everybody knows that nothing else ruins the health as quickly as wet feet, and the only possible way to have dry feet—especially in winter—is to wear rubbers. So rubbers have come back into style as indispensable to good health. The added fact that rubbers are now so much more shapely and graceful in their lines than they were a dozen years ago, and that they are now made in such infinite variety, has served, of course, still further to increase their popularity.—Harper's Bazar. Holder for Blectrlo Lamps. Magnetism has been applied in an in genious way to the automatic holding of electric lamps in any desired posi tion. The holder of the lamp, which is thoroughly magnetized, will adhere to any piece of iron or steel at any angle, so that by Its use iron workers can se cure light at any part of their work without the inconvenience attendant on the use of a torch. As the light can be made to shine exactly where it is wanted, the magnetic holder is of the greatest service when the workman Is employing the lathe, planer, drill and other tools. Its use in boiler shops is doing away with torches, as it can be carried inside the boiler. For many classes of work, especially the making of locomotives, it is highly recommend ed, not the least of its advantages be ing that it frequently enables an as sistant to be dispensed with.

The Circumstance Recalled by a Recent Gift to President AlcKlnlcy of A Mince Pie Weighing Seventy Pounds—Jeffer son's Cheese Turned the Scale at 1000. One of the features of the holiday season at the national capital was the present of a mammoth mince pie, weighing fully seventy pounds, to the President. It was the work of a baker, who embellished the upper crust with the American coat of arms in raised dough. Of course the gift awoke the reminiscences of the Wash ington historian, relates the Sun. Of the many Presidential gifts which the mammoth McKinley pie inspired him to mention, perhaps the most inter esting was the huge Cheshire cheese that fell to the lot of Thomas Jeffer son, wan delivered to him on the day of his first inauguration, and was cut in the presence of great men and foreign Ministers. It weighed 1000 pounds. "My grandfather, who lived to be an old man," he said, "remembered to the last a conversation which he had with Jefferson. The topic was cheese, and was brought up by an in cident of the heated political campaign of 1800. Mr. Jefferson seemed to wonder at his own ignorance of cheese and cheescmaking. " 'lt is the only subject I can now recall,' he said to my grandfather, 'that I never had a desire to investi gate, though I have gone to great trouble to learn about things of less human concern. I should have es caped sorao trouble if I had given to the study of cheese the time I devoted to an estimate of the weight of the atmosphere.' This referred to the charge that he had attacked the Bible. 'I have no antipathy to cheese,' con tinued Mr. Jofferscn, 'at least when it is fresh and mild and not inhabited by mites—American cheese, I mean," said this patriot, who was acoused of French tastes, 'and I have more than once made a dinner exclusively of cheese and crackers. But it is not a passion with me.' "The campaign that opened in the summer of 1800," coutiuued the Dis trict historiau, "was the most excit ing, partly because of its scandals, in the early history of American politics. John Adams was President and wanted a second term, but bis ambition was | opposed, not only by Jefferson, the leader of the opposition party, bnt also by Alexander Hamilton, the recognized leader of Adams's own party, the Federal. As soon as the election of Jefferson seemed a prob ability, everything was done to arouse religious prejudice against him. The liev. Dr. John M. Mason wrote a pamphlet with the title, 'The Voice of Warning to Christians ! on the Ensuing Eleotion,' in which ! Jefferson was condemned as an in fidel on the strength of his 'Notes on Virginia.' He had, according to Dr. Mason, attacked the Bible and dis puted or denied the possibility of the fiood. In more than half the pulpits of New England he was stigmatized as an athiest or French infidel and an ardent admirer and follower of the unspeakable Voltaire. "All this feeling against Jefferson makes it the more remarkable that Elder John Eeland, of Cheshire, in Massachusetts, should have come out so stoutly for him. Elder Lelaud had been a warm admirer of the Sage of Monticello, and his sense of justice was outraged by tho unwarranted as saults made on him. He took off his ! --oat aud did not rest until everybody ! within reach of his influence had been ; brought over to hearty support of Jef ferson, the church people especially, j When it was known that Jefferson had been elected, it was resolved to givo expression to the satisfaction of the people of tho town. Elder Belaud called on every cow owner of the vicinity to contribute not less than one quart of milk or its equivalent in curd on a certain day for the construc- I lion of a mammoth cheese of the kind that had made Cheshire famous I throughout the Commonwealth and J even beyond its borders. It was de signed to put this on a strong wagon and haul it to Washington, 500 miles away, and present it to Jefferson ou ! the day of his inauguration. | "Captain Johu Brown, the patriot j who first discovered the treason of , Benedict Arnold, was the owner of the I biggest cider press iu tho district. 1 This he devoted to the making of the cheese. For an undemonstrative peo : pie they mado the event interesting. On the appointed day every man, woman and walking child in tho town nnd for miles around formed in pro cession and marched, singing and cheering, aud nearly all carrying pails of milk, to Captain Brown's mill on tho hill. Here a great hoop was made and into it was poured the rich flood of milk. Then the women who were most noted as cheesemakers prepared the great mass of curd, and the stoutest men famed for feats of strength at barn-raisings and wrestling on muster days—took hold of the great lovers and compressed the world's greatest cheese. Then with a prayer and a rousing hymn it was put away to dry. "How to get the hugo disk to its destination was a question that was discussed at the village store, and after prayer-meeting, and wherever two men met. The roads were uni formly bad at tho best, aud in winter almost impassable. Besides, no wagon iu the neighborhood was large enough or strong enough. Bverybody but Elder Lelaud aud the village wheel wright looked upou the business as hopeless. With the first heavy snow, however, the latter brought out au immonso sled, made expressly for tho cheese. It was agreed that nobody but Elder Inland should ,hpvo tte glory of holding the reins over the four stout horses. The whole town turned out the day of starting. Th women decorated the sled with flags and streamers, and escorted the cheese far beyond the limits of the town, some going all the way to the nation's new capital. Soon after that inaugura tion, which is still remembered for its republican simplicity, the Cheshire cheese, on its sled, was brought be foro the residenoe of President Jeffer son and presented in an earnest speech by Elder Leland. Jefferson responded with real feeling, nnd then he cut into it. It was a good cheese, weighing 1000 pounds. Surrounding the Presi dent were many of the leading men ol the Nation and the representatives o) other lands." A CONTRACT JOB. Bow the Creek Was Quickly Turned Intc a Little Hollow Near Ily. "I was only ten years old when ] secured my first contract," said the well-known contractor, who was in B talkative mood, according to the De troit Free Press. "My father was living on a farm al the time, and ns winter drew nigh he conceived the plan of turning the little creek that ran through the farm into s hollow near by, thus forming a pond from which to cut ice duriDg the win ter. "My father figured up the oost, and finding that it amounted to more than he had thought it would was about tc give it up, when I looked the situation over and told him that I would take the contract for §lO. He laughed and told me to go ahead, not dreaming foi an instant that I would have ambition enough to begin on the work, as up to that time I had not shown a liking foi hard labor. "1 called tbe boys of tbe neighbor hood together nnd placed tho situation before them. The nearest pond was a matter of ten miles away, and even a boy with a pair of brand-new skates did not thrill at the prospect of walk ing that '.far for a skate. I showod them how, with a little work, we could have a place to skate right at home. They fell in with the idea, and we went to work to carry out the plan. "We were over a month working at it; that is, the other boys were, while I stood around and bossed the job. "I was proud of the work when it was finished, and T think my father was, too, although he couldn't see for the life of him how I manage to se cure so much holp for nothing. "With tho first heavy freeze ther< was a rush for tho pond by tbe boys that was equaled by the rush away from it when father discovered them there aud started after them with a horsewhip. "He said that he wasn't goin' to have 'a lot of fine ice split by a pack of pesky boys skatin' on it.' "I think the incident had a certain influence upou my choice of n profes sion, as it taught me that there was money in contracting." WISE WORDS. Novelty is the great parent of pleas ure.—South.

"Why so, dear?"] she asked. "Because," was the reply, "a wild one can run around on the prairie all his life and a tame one gets killed every year." "Bessie," said a north side mother to her four-year-old daughter, "here's three cents; run down to the drug j store on the corner and get mo a stamped envelope." A few minutes ; later Bessie entered the store and the proprietor asked: "Well, little girl, what can I do for ycu?" "If you please, sir," she replied, "my mamma wants free cents worf of stamped antelope." Harry, aged 4, while engaged in pick ing the "drumstick" of a Thanksgiving turkey partly swallowed one of the tendons, which are so numerous in the legs of a fowl, and was nearly choked.
